Early life

Rodwell was born in London to a British father and French mother. He grew up in Versailles.

Political career

Rodwell was elected to the National Assembly in Yvelines's 1st constituency in the 2022 French legislative election;[1] at the time, he was – alongside Louis Margueritte and Charles Sitzenstuhl – one of three former staff members of Bruno Le Maire who moved from the Ministry of Economics and Finance to parliament.[2]

In parliament, Rodwell has since been serving on the Committee on Economic Affairs.[3] In this capacity, he served as the parliament's rapporteur on measures aimed at attracting foreign businesses to expand in France in 2023.[4] In 2026, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu asked him and two other parliamentarians from his center-right coalition – Christophe Plassard and Jean-Louis Thiériot – to report on France’s economic-security policies and those of its European partners, with particular attention to foreign investment screening.[5]

In addition to his committee assignments, Rodwell is part of the French parliamentary friendship groups with Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, and Ethiopia.[6]

Rodwell is considered to be part of his parliamentary group's conservative wing.[7]
